I had to share this article…it “begins with me” is what I hear in the program all the time and is always a good reminder. I’ve been striving for the Serenity Prayer-that’s seriously what I want in life.
I unconsciously started getting happier by eliminating the toxins, using my voice, boundaries and detaching with the toxic people, and surrounding myself with those seeking the tenets of the prayer at 12 Step meetings. I also have an awesome Sponsor. I avoid chaos. I’ve been working through traumas with therapy. Me and HP are very cool (great relationship there). I love being by myself and date myself. The work is paying off-I am truly happier than I’ve ever been in my life! The Universe has been bringing in people with that same happy energy!

Thanks for sharing! That article makes a lot of sense. I have found that happiness must come from within. Outside things give me an immediate rush, but fade away just like that new car smell lol. Today I am responsible for making sure I’m healthy (mentally, physically, and spiritually). Today I choose to follow a daily program of recovery that helps me stay sober and learn to live life on life’s terms without the need to escape. Its not always easy, but is by far the easier softer way. Grateful to have found my way back…again. Again, thanks for sharing
